- This comes after Manchester United defeated Crystal Palace 3-1 to mount more pressure on fourth-placed Arsenal

- The victory was Solskjaer's eighth consecutive away win since arriving at Old Trafford as interim manager

- He has now broken Ferguson's record of seven straight wins on the road

Manchester United bagged their eighth consecutive away victory in all competitions after comprehensively beating Crystal Palace in a Premier League clash on Wednesday night, February 27, at Selhurst Park.

The Manchester outfit went into the encounter with an injury-ravaged squad, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer missing the services of up to ten first team players.

However, they managed to take full control of the away trip at south London, dominating proceedings to cart away all the three points.

In the absence of the attacking trio of Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford, Solskjaer started Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez upfront.

The attack line still made a massive impact, as Lukaku bagged a brace to gift United a comfortable win over the Eagles.

The result meant that the Red Devils have now collected an incredible eight straight wins on the road since the arrival of Solskjaer - a feat legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, never achieved.
